Yes. Landscape Design Solutions works with New Albany homeowners to create custom landscapes and sophisticated outdoor living environments. Projects range from landscape renovations and planting design to complete backyard transformations incorporating patios, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, fire pits, walls and gathering spaces. Each project is developed around the individual property so the finished landscape complements the architecture and character of the home.

Yes, and we consider that an essential part of good landscape design. The proportions, materials, sightlines and architectural character of your home should influence what happens outside. Hardscape materials can reinforce architectural details while planting arrangements can soften, frame or emphasize different elements of the residence. Our objective is for the landscape to look intentional and connected to the home rather than like a separate collection of plants and outdoor features.

Yes. We design patios and outdoor kitchens around both appearance and function. That means considering appropriate scale, furniture placement, cooking and serving areas, circulation between the house and patio, views from inside the home and how guests will naturally use the space. These features can also be combined with fireplaces, seating walls, landscape lighting and planting areas to create a complete outdoor entertaining environment.

Certainly. A property doesn't need to start from scratch to benefit from professional landscape design. We can evaluate which existing plants, trees, hardscape features or structures are worth retaining and identify areas that could be redesigned. Mature landscapes often present excellent opportunities to improve privacy, simplify maintenance, update an aging style or create outdoor living areas that better reflect how the homeowners use their property today.

The initial consultation allows us to learn about your property, the improvements you're considering and how you want your outdoor environment to function. We'll discuss priorities such as entertaining, privacy, cooking, dining, fire features, landscape appearance and any challenges with the existing property. We also consider the architecture of the home and the overall setting so that future design recommendations are appropriate for your particular New Albany residence.

Yes. One advantage of working with Landscape Design Solutions is the ability to approach the outdoor environment as a complete project. Instead of having unrelated contractors independently install a patio, landscaping and other features, the entire space can be considered during the design process. This helps create better proportions, transitions, material choices and visual continuity while giving you a more cohesive finished landscape.
